This is the last set of photos from my visits to the Longenecker Horticultural Garden which features more than a hundred crabapples. Rain and wind from wickedly loud thunderstorm last night did in the last few I wanted to shoot. There’s always next year.

Aren’t they a pretty sight? I’m so much better, now that I have finally gotten the snow and cold out of my system!

And there were more than a hundred to photograph, Terry. I only was able to shoot about 15 of them before I lost the light. I was hoping to return, but we had a huge thunderstorm last night, so not sure what shape they’ll be in.

They are all have differences and similarities. I had hoped to match a photo of the entire tree with the flowers–some trees are upright, some bushy, some drooping–but collecting the info and keeping them straight got a bit out of hand. And I didn’t want to post incorrect info. Maybe next year!

Lovely trees, on the small side, which give a profusion of white or pink blossoms in the spring, no fruit to speak of, though birds find them attractive enough. They tolerate cold winters, and thrive in the climate of Wisconsin and other states with similar weather.
